JUMP START SP Mode

For pieces that are smaller in size for the shelf of the kiln... less than 1/2 the shelf area and/or 2 layers thick. This is a good place to start for that large project knowing that you can speed up the rates later if the pieceturns out well. The Small Piece mode provides 4 pre-set JUMP START firing schedules for glass forming and 4 optional USER programs for creating custom firing schedules. The JUMP START programs are recommended firing schedules that provide the various heating and cooling steps for easy selection.

You can change the pre-set Small Piece programs and edit them to fit your needs edited. However, if needed, you can always restore the original JUMP START values by entering a zero value for the first RA1 segment of each program and then pressing the PROGRAM button. In addition to the Small Piece pre-set JUMP START programs, the SP mode provides 4 USER defined programs for custom firing schedules. Each user defined program can be up to 8 steps.
